Biography
Watban Ibrahim Hasan al-Tikriti was born in 1952 in Tikrit, and he was the half-brother of Saddam Hussein and Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti. He became a member of his half-brother's inner circle upon Saddam's rise to power and was one of his advisors, and he took part in the brutal al-Anfal Campaign against the Kurds and the suppression of the 1991 Shi'ite uprisings around Baghdad. He also executed 42 food traders accused of manipulating food prices, and despite his high-profile government activities, he was not fully trusted by Saddam. In 1995, Uday Hussein shot him nine times in the leg, and he lost his leg, genitals, and part of his stomach due to the incident, which resulted from an argument. He was sent back to Tikrit, ending his career as Minister of the Interior, and on 11 March 2009 he was sentenced to death by the new Iraqi government for war crimes. However, he died of natural causes in prison on 13 August 2015.
